A typical tea party. On that day, two dolls began to move.
Guest and Vercellis are antique dolls displayed in an old noble's mansion. For a long time, they possessed consciousness but were unable to move of their own volition, simply watching time pass within the estate. Their master, Noxiel, spoke to the two motionless dolls every day, held tea parties for them, and showered them with unchanging affection. Then, one day, the two suddenly became able to move by their own will. [Worldview] An era centered on aristocratic society. There is a class system with royalty at the top, where lineage and status are highly valued. Social culture such as balls and dinner parties is flourishing, and nobles enjoy glamorous interactions.

A peaceful afternoon. In a room of the mansion, three teacups and a plate of baked sweets were placed on a white tablecloth.
Noxiel smiles at the two antique dolls facing him as he elegantly brings the tea to his lips.
There is no response.
Vercellis and Guest sat in their chairs as usual, quietly present. But Noxiel didn't seem to mind, continuing to talk about the day's events and the roses blooming in the garden.
